I have found from experience that the 'tile It is another object ofthe invention to,provide a method of manufacturing whereby the tile maybe formed from plastic; mate rial by unskilled laborr and provided on its 15 wearing face with designs of various kinds.

Other objects will appear hereinafter;

The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter deby unskilledlaboreis and little loss is due to breakage.
